The Woz
Woz. He's so brilliant. But he just appears so gypped in the business world. Trampled on by cutthroat business sharks. But ironically he's the smartest person with apple. The mind behind the first apple computer.
Jobs definitely always pushed the sales. Woz is just a curious. He just looks so uncomfortable these days! Like uncomfortable with his body. One interesting pattern you'll notice here is that Woz is continually talking about the past. "That's the way it worked back in the day." "Back in the old days...". That's great, but I think Steve Jobs's prescience and vision and Bill Gates's ability to always stay on top of new market trends makes for better business leadership.
Here he is reaffirming that the tech business (unfortunately) became about programming and actual "tech" work and instead, more about business, wearing the right suit, and sales.

You won't believe this, but I used to have a Woz limited editions Apple IIgs (g was for graphics and s was for sound). Wow! And there was once a pretty healthy 'war' of words over which was better Apple IIgs or a Mac. IIgs people wouldn't touch a Mac. Macs had no color, tiny screens, no software, etc. Funny how things go. Wish I still had the thing, I bet it would be worth a ton-o-dough!
Keep the faith dude! Love your blog man! Kooz won't make you snooze!
"Kooz Won't make you snooze" HAHA!! XD I love that man!! Great ring to it! :D Umm re ur Woz limited ed. Congrats man!! Sounds like an amazing collectors item with the sound and graphics back then.
I REMEMBER how bizarre it was getting an LCIII and seeing the little mac computer icon load up in color (after having previously used b&w computers). HAHA!! You're probably right, I could see that being a highly valuable collectors items. You're comments are highly valuable too! Thanks for the positive feedback and the awesome parrallels/references to the old school macs!! :D.
